Happy New Year!

With the New Year comes new challenges and new opportunities! The end of December is a time to reassess 2015... and reset to begin 2016. It’s time to come at life with renewed energy and inspiration! Here are some suggestions below. Feel free to explore and do what ever moves you! We set goals and support each other to achieve them.

"If you want to live a happy life tie it to goal not people or things"

"Albert Einstein"

Daily Journal: A hand written journal will help direct your subconscious mind to effortlessly change behavior. In studies it seems to be much more effective than merely reading or hearing words.

Daily, weekly and monthly goals thru December 2016. We also added some life goals.

We find that adding empowering words into our journal entries (and in our life) inspires us and everyone around us throughout the year. Take action and really manifest what you want by writing and speaking it!

Daily

1. Gratitude: It makes us more appreciative, creates better friendships and relationships, improves our health, our sleep, and increases our lifespan, all this and more for just 5 minutes a day of saying to yourself what you are thankful for.

2. Laugh! It’s a good ab workout, relieves stress, increases memory, and improves creativity, Laughing is like internal jogging, it causes endorphins to be released from the brain. It boosts T Cells, used to help fight off that winter cold.

3. 8+ hours of sleep: The greatest engineer is proper rest.

4. H2O: 3 to 5 liters of water a day. Over 75% of Americans bodies are in a drought! Give yourself the gift of water and watch your body function at it’s best.

5. Healthy food: eat organic. It is an energizing life force.

6. Grow Younger, because you can.

Weekly

1. Exercise: 4 days a week (minimum 30 minutes) begin here and increase the time as you feel stronger. Whatever movement you like, this is your body, enjoy it.
